WWE RAW - Best and worst: Mysterious footage of new faction emerges, Superstar slapped live on air

#1 Worst: Kevin Owens and The Giant Ninja cast in new roles on WWE RAW

For anyone wondering, the security guard is 7’3” Performance Center recruit Jordan Omogbehin, who previously performed as the Giant Ninja.The man who isn’t 7’3” is Ryan Ward - WWE’s Vice President of Creative Writing.#WWERAW pic.twitter.com/G0PtOyDEVu

It is very easy to make the connection between The Giant Ninja that we've briefly seen on WWE RAW and the gigantic man we saw guarding the RAW Underground door this week. I do wish we'd seen a little more of The Giant Ninja before he was re-cast in this role because the company didn't even give the concept any time to breathe before it was pulled for good.

What I did not like is the Kevin Owens that we saw this week, who wanted to get the Riott Squad back together. Remember when he used to be Stone Cold Steve Austin-like when he wanted to only fight for the prize and do things on WWE RAW and SmackDown that only served his best interests?

I just think that the current incarnation of Kevin Owens on WWE RAW, the guidance counselor, is missing that edge and that aggression.

When Kevin Owens got slapped by The IIconics on WWE RAW, that did nothing for the former WWE Universal Champion.
